I’m not very good at things like these to be honest. Weaving a high-fantasy story and putting into words my honest feelings of thanks and gratitude to people are two entirely different things, and the latter is infinitely more difficult.
But I hope that, as simple as the words may be, each and everyone of you will feel my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation, and know that I rarely say things like these and when I do, I can only mean them.
@knightofameris I cannot start this off without first thanking you. You helped and supported me with so many things, from teaching me how to use Tumblr and giving me the tool I needed to making banners, to always, always and constantly keeping me up with your words, presence (online lmao) and heck, provided me with more than one meal and I am not ashamed to say it! Thank you so much for being my friend. You are too good for this world and I truly wish you will have a great 2021, and that all the good things you deserve will come to you this year.
@buddh-art Bro, mah bruder. The Bokuto to my Kuroo. Bruh, I don’t know how life would be like this year if I went through 2020 without ever knowing you. Like, who the heck thought we would get on this well, to the point we have a damned brotherhood contract! HAHAHA Thank you soul-brother, for the nights (well, your mornings) of countless laughter and joy, and for keeping me company when I draw even though half of the time, it is just me pressing Ctrl+Z. Here’s to more bronenigans this year with you, on discord, on tumblr, and on Genshin!
@sovtwords My brightest star! I don’t even know what I can say to you that you don’t already know since we talk almost every single night since...I don’t know! I know it hasn’t been that long, but it also felt like forever ahahaha I still remember clearly that one morning, seeing your comment on GWS at 5am, and how happy it made me. Thank you always for your understanding and love, and for listening to me gush about Genshin non-stop hahahaha Let’s both work hard this year to FINALLY FINISH THAT TOKYO DRIFT AU FIC AND OUR OWN RESPECTIVE STORIES AND FINALLY PLAY A GAME TOGETHER THAT WE KEEP SAYING WE WILL DO BUT NEVER GET TO! FJKHDSBHF
@xavestory Omg Xave, I don’t even know what to say haha your artwork is always so inspiring to see, and your name precedes you! I knew your name long before I came across your art, and I was immediately taken in and blown away- and then to have you looking at my art??? Renesis.exe has timed out. Thank youuuu for being so encouraging with my art, everytime I hear from you I feel like my soul just goes UwU I haven’t drawn in years before I started again late last year, and you and your art were definitely one of the motivating factors for me to try harder, and I hope to keep that up this year!
@writeiolite fbhdshjf IT HASNT BEEN THAT LONG BUT WTH I FEEL LIKE WE’VE BEEN CHATTING NON-STOP ABOUT GENSHIN FOR A WHILE HAHAHAHA I remember you used to just be that person on Mudae that I really wanted to avoid cause I can never be as fast as you (HNGGGGNNNN) and then it turned to us talking nonstop about Genshin and even playing it together hahaha thank you for always being your kind self to everyone, and for playing with me <33 I’m SO sorry that I ascended my world so soon after our world levels matched BFSHJB BUT WE CAN STILL PLAY TOGETHER WHENEVER YOU ONLY NEED TO PING ME AND I WOULD GET OUT OF BED TO PLAY JUST FOR YOU!
@yanderexbabydoll I can never thank you enough, nor forget, your guidance and support when I wrote my first 18+ fic ahahaha it’s a daunting topic to start on, especially for me who still felt a tad uncomfortable writing mature works, needless to say talking about it, but you were so open and understanding, answering my questions and insecurities so patiently. The day I found out you read GWS- man, I swear my neighbors still hate me for the way I screamed that evening ahahaha We haven’t talked in a while but I hope this year we will have more opportunities to catch up <3
@sawamooora Bees. Atsubee. Really, I should just end this note here like this because the word bees sums it best for us HAHA Thank you for being such a whirlwind ride, always storming into my discord and turning everything upside down and then leaving just as fast as literal wind; I absolutely love it. I don’t think I would have gotten into the entire Atsubee, Beenarizaki and Bee Supremacy without you, and what a shame that would have been. Thank you for being you, which is just a literal bundle of clownery, sunshine and joy to everyone who interacts with you. Everytime I chat with you I have a giant grin on my face and I cannot explain it- it’s as mysterious as the hold the bees have on us.
@chunhua-s HNGGG you’re always sending in GWS music recommendation and I love it so much haha Thank you always for your support for GWS, and also, I just love all the tag games you always tag me in hahaha I can’t get to all of them some times but I remember clearly there was a time where I wanted to do more of those but was too shy to ask people to tag me and lo and behold, you swooped in and answered my prayers HAHA I really hope this year we will be able to interact more <3
@tencofish @moondriplets @gothelle @essentlai @thatlofiguy @animemess @skiyoomii @keiijiis @justatinysaltymbb @butyfigers @veryrawknees Madao, Luca, Kels, TIA, Sodium Possum, studio,dasom, Yeon, Jess, Asta, Mau, Riah, Beef Burger (J), ThatGoldfish, Wardi, Jaz, Ember, and allllll the others on my discord server who do not have Tumblr or do not want it named. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING YOU, BEING PART OF MY DISCORD AND FOR BEING MY FRIEND! Everyday, the first and last things I see are the messages on the server and I just- I’m literally crying right now as I type this but I don’t know how I could have survived 2020 without all of you. I live alone in a foreign country away from family, further isolated from others due to Covid and I imagine last year would have been extremely dark without you all. Thank you for brightening my everyday.
Alright, Tumblr might start to cap my tag numbers soon but let me at least end this by saying a final thank you to EVERYONE who follows me here and on AO3, and who read my work. Each and everyone of your presence, feedback, and encouragement for my writing keeps me going, and I truly mean it when I say that GWS would not have gotten where it has without you all, nor will my other non-GWS fics. Though my updates has been slower, I will continue to work hard this year to show you more of the world of Hyquile, and other works <3
TA-DAH! A map of Hyquile from my Haikyuu story Ghosts We See.
It’s a very simple map made with a trial version of a map-making software called Inkarnate; @katbshop gave me the idea to use a software to make the map, and I went abt looking for a somewhat free version...I would have liked to make a larger map but they only gave me this much space to work with lmao.
Can’t even show the FULL scale of Hyquile 😅 Like, just imagine the distances shown here to be SEVERAL TIMES MORE!
I would like to be able to update this map as the story progresses but the trial ends in a few weeks and I can’t afford to subscribe to it 😭 At least we will have this basic one of the existing realms 😌
Edit: Do you guys see how BARE Inarizaki House is though? XXD
This is an index of all the various Asks/Posts pertaining to GWS that will help shed additional light into the world of Hyquile. I will update this whenever there is a new post about GWS.

I forgot to do this when I posted before I passed out but Chapter 29 of Ghosts We See is out on AO3!
There are still a lot of comments on AO3 I haven’t got back to and I will get around to them slowly! My response rates to Asks has also been slow lately and I apologize orz
I...haven’t been doing too well for a while, for a few months, and it’s been especially tough as of late, but I’m trying my best. I can’t bring myself to vent or talk to many people about it as I cannot help but feel my troubles are not worth it.
It’s effected my sociability and my updates pace; I know C29 took the longest to be released and many were worried that GWS would be one of those fics that got dropped halfway.
I just wanted to say I am grateful for everyone’s support here and on AO3, and I will continue writing so please do not worry if updates are slow. (and drawing, if anyone is even interested in that from me)
I still very much enjoy interacting with everyone, so please feel free to continue sending in Asks even though I might not respond right away, which I hope you’ll all understand >.<;
So this is something that has happened a few times now, and I always dealt with it quietly but it has happened again so I'm making a post about it. It’s exhausting repeating the same thing each time separately🥺
Please do not associate the fanart of other artists with Ghosts We See misleadingly or without credits.
A few times I have found/was alerted to posts on social media where GWS is recommended, and then fanart of the boys were associated with it and passed off as how the boys actually look/are in GWS itself. I really LOVE and appreciate and thank people 1000x over for recommending GWS to others, but-
Please do not tell others a fanart by someone else is actually how Majestic Kuroo or Scary Bokuto etc looks in GWS, or that Akaashi is a Tengu just because the fanart depicts him as one (he is not even close to a Tengu if you read the story...).
The Hyquile HQ/Alternate HQ boys in GWS were all built up with a very specific image and worldbuilding in mind; misleading posts about Akaashi being a Tengu or Bokuto being a mercenary/bandit king destroys the story I am telling with them and just...doesn’t sit well with me. Potential new readers seeing that will also have a totally different expectation of the characters than what is told.
If need be, I have drawn my own designs of some of the boys which you can share with proper credits, and I know they are not even close to being half as good as many of the other arts out there, but I did not describe Alt!Ushijima as wearing flamboyant princely clothes, when he and the entire Empire is built with a militaristic design. And for many of the characters, I am not even halfway close to getting their basic designs out (I will at some point), but it makes me feel uncomfortable to see people associating the art of other people with GWS misleadingly and so publicly on platforms like Facebook etc
All of this takes away every single hour, days, and weeks of planning I put into the characters and the world. The HQ boys do not belong to me, but please at least respect the world and story of GWS and the roles of the characters.
I really appreciate that people love GWS so much that they start looking for fanart to help them visualize/imagine the Hyquile HQ boys. It is totally fine if you are doing it privately, and I also love it when people share with me art that reminds them of GWS. That’s totally fine.
What I do not want is people sharing it and saying things that are untrue/misleading/misrepresenting.
Please at least make it clear that it is your own imagination of the boys if you must, and not mine. I don’t like being strict, and just want everyone to enjoy GWS as much as I am telling it but please be respectful of the story/world I am telling, the roles/image of the boys in Hyquile, and-
respect the art of other artists with proper links and credit.
